In case you couldn't tell...

CC tends to be a slow starter. But just how slow? Well let’s take at his first 5 games from last year...

In 2008 he gave up 27 runs over the course of 24 innings coming out to an era of 10.125, in case you didn't know that is TERRIBLE. Do I think he's going to start off that badly again this year? Nope, or at least I hope not, New York tends to be an unforgiving city. Anyway, my point is if the next time CC goes out, he gets shelled you shouldn't be that surprised. Just know sooner rather than later he will be back to the CY Young form we're all used to. Or he could turn into Randy Johnson, give up a ridiculous amount of homeruns and put up an era over 5. For the sake of the Yankees playoff hopes, I'm hoping for the latter.

Anyway be sure to tune in tomorrow for pre game coverage.. Go Yankees.
